Evaluation and design of double-skin facades for office buildings in hot climates
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The main objectives of this research are (a) to investigate the thermal effect of double skin facades in office buildings in hot climates and (b) to propose guidelines for their efficient design based on this evaluation. ...
Simulation of anisotropic wave propagation in Vertical Seismic Profiles
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
The influence of elastic anisotropy on seismic wave propagation is often neglected for the sake of simplicity. However, ignoring anisotropy may lead to significant errors in the processing of seismic data and ultimately ...
Evaluating reservoir production strategies in miscible and immiscible gas-injection projects
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Miscible gas injection processes could be among the most widely used enhanced oil recovery processes. Successful design and implementation of a miscible gas injection project depends upon the accurate determination of the ...
Altering hydrologic regime to revgetate crusted soils on semiarid rangeland
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Dysfunctional rangelands lose nutrients and material faster than they capture or create them. The objective of this study was to determine the effectiveness of contour furrows, drill seeding, and aeration treatments in ...
Estimating the expected latency to failure due to manufacturing defects
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)
Manufacturers of digital circuits test their products to find defective parts so they are not sold to customers. Despite extensive testing, some of their products that are defective pass the testing process. To combat ...
Effects of communication mode and polling on cooperation in a commons dilemma
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
This study examined the effects of communication mode, both face-to-face (FTF) and computer-mediated communication (CMC), and polling on cooperation in a commons dilemma. Sixty-seven six-person groups used FISH, a computer ...
Ideologies of crime news in China in an era of commercialization
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
In the literature researchers don't agree whether news content in China in an era of media commercialization still functions to promote the dominant ideology of the ruling Communist Party. The thesis is a theoretical ...
Detection of near-surface anisotropy in a weathered metamorphic schist using time-domain electromagnetics
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Controlled-source, azimuthal, time-domain, electromagnetic (TDEM) surveys were conducted over a schist formation with uniformly striking, nearly vertical foliation. Direct current electrical resistivity and seismic ...
Quantification of chaotic mixing in microfluidic systems
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Periodic and chaotic dynamical systems follow deterministic equations such as Newton's laws of motion. To distinguish the difference between two systems, the initial conditions have an important role. Chaotic behaviors or ...
Flow control techniques for real-time media applications in best-effort networks using fluid models
(Texas A&M University, 2004-11-15)
Quality of Service (QoS) in real-time media applications is an area of current interest because of the increasing demand for audio/video, and generally multimedia applications, over best effort networks, such as the Internet. ...
